Sheet Imetel giiides or th e like, indicated ere fastened in the reloated edges the-sill 10 and p-th e lintel 13 adjacent the jamb 12. These f guides have upstanding portions 26 and horifzontal portions 27, thejedges oi which are S bent toward thesill-lO and lintel respecttivel'y so astopartially enclose the upstanding flange 29 on the shoes' 24. The upstanding flanges 29 on the shoes2l are recessed as ,indicatedat 30 upon Fig. 6 and these recesses containlea fspi ings .31 which heanagainstf the upstanding portions 26 on the guides 25 thus forming a good sfrictional engagement between the shoes 2 L j and the guides 25,

although the shoes -24;may bef caused to .slide ii laterally upon'the guides 25. The; lateral movement of the 'shoes' 24jon the guides 25' causes the sash 1e;t0 -11ave-a 'shiftable or movable pivot by" virtue ot-the fact that the sash While the .Lconstruction of the guides 25, and;

ofthe-slioes 245 is shown'in 't-h'e preferred form, it isto he understood that any other suitable construction may be employed which provides a shiiitahle or jmovablepivot and des red thegu1de-25 can he completely eliminated and a suitable groove formed in the sill 10 may serve to guide! the lateral movement j of the shoe 7- thereon and a' cor'responding roove maybe formed in the -lintel 13 for its rails 34 and'37 have positioned thereon adjaje" shoe.

1 A screen is'also provided; generally desig-' natedat 33 having a hottom'rail e4, stiles 35 and 36 and atoprail'37. The bottom andltop cent the stiles35, angleirons 38 to which" therailsjare detachably secured as loy'holts or screws 39; The angleirons are pivotally connected as; by, screws or rivets indicated at 40 toslidable shoes 41. These shoes are similar inconstruction to the shoes24andare latleaving the sash in 'openposition-and tria 1 "tion'ally" held in; such position by virtue' of the springs 31j pressing against the guidesi25 erally r'nova'bleupon guides42'which are simlilar in' construction to the guides 25 with their inner edges recessed in the 'j amb' strips 43 V which are fastened to the sill '1 0fand xthe lintel 18." Jani'h strips A l which are not re-f cessed or .underj-cutare fastened tothe sides of the'jamhs 11 and12. Links 45 are pivotally connected to the guides 4-2-and' to the angle irons 38', these links being somewhat longer than the links 3 2. By this construction it Will be appreciated that the. screen-33 is i also provided with a shiftahle or movable pivot.

I 3 The stile 36" on the screen 33jconstitutesia lock stile againstthe inner: face of'whifch there isv mounted amounting plate {6- which has swiveled thereto or otherwise rotata'loly ino'untedthereon a shank 47 having a-handle e8. The shank'is provided with a laterally ,exteiiding lug 49 which isreceivahle' in the slot 50 a 'keeper-5l-mounted' on the jamb .11 over a recess formed therein. When the shank 47 by the handle, the lug can be caused the stile 36 as indicated at '53 with one end of to enter .thekeeper locking'the screen in J closed position. A-latch .52, which is prefer- Y g ably spring actuated is pivotally mounted in the latch extending inwardly througli'a slot i isprovidedwithathuinblplate 54. The other end of the latch extends outwardly, through in the top of themounting plateilfi where it v the opposite sidelof the fstile fii arid'isiprovided at its outer end with a hook which has a rounded nose. On the inner side of the stile 19 onthesash there is mounted a keeper which is U-shaped in{ form having parallel arms 56 and 57; This keeperis preferably formed of resilient materialsuch as spring steel or the like and has one endsecuredto the stile l9. I A screw 58 extends through the ends of both arms and into the stile and on rotating the screw the screw can-becaused'to positionv the arm 57 with respect tothe stile;

Theoperationtand advantages of the improved combined sash and screen mounting areasfollows: Assumingthe s'ash'and screen i to be inthe'closed position shownin Fig; 3 if it is desired to open the sash the shank 4LT is rotated to move the lug 4E9 out'of the keeper and the screen can then xloepushed open. Opening movement of the'screencausesfthe sash'tofbe'pushed ahead of it and-during the 7 7 i V movementof-the'screen; andgsash the: shoes 24. and 41 slide 'oil their respective guides.

hen the sashjis in the desired open position the screen can be left with-it so that the win- V m j'dow openingis'completely openand there is a free ingree and egress of air. -If'it is desired I tolhave the window screened'thethumhplate j 54 can be pressed to liftthehook 5.5 outofenp gagement withthe arm 57 on thefkeeper on the sash thus disconnecting the'screen from the s i sash. The screen'canthen liereturned to.

and thusholdingthe 'sash in such position even against influences of breezes. When itis desired to close the sash the screen isunlocked and swung outwardlyiand'when the screen encountersthe sash therounded nose each other.

feature of the, inventionresides also in the provision of a movable or shiftable pivot won the sash -16 andlonthe screen33 or the storm sash whichmay be substituted therefor. jBysucha cdnstructionit will be noted jthatwhen the sash 16 is in open position the stile 18 moves away from the jamb 12 so that it is possible to clean or wash both sides of the pane P inthe sash16 fromthe inside of the window. To wash the outer surface mounted in the frameQan i 1 i i a i i nner closure closed simultaneously ,org ndependently of i Fig.2.

a From the above described construction it of the pane the person washing, the window merely reaches through the opening left betwen the sill 18 and the jamb 12 as shown in will be appreciatedthat a novel and advantageous combined sash and screen mounting provided whichis of simple, yet durable construction and which enables a window :rnountedmin the frame, an inner 1 means permittin the closure and screen to be disconnected irom each other.
